Chapter 167 Annual Meeting: Starting Point First Platinum
I haven't had time to finish writing, so I'll correct the typos and incorrect sentences first. You guys can read it later, sorry.
…………
After agreeing on the appearance, when Zhong Yunqing was about to hang up the phone and go cook, Luo Li spoke again:
"Um, by the way, how about you perform a show at the annual meeting?"
Zhong Yunqing was naturally prepared for this request which was not considered a requirement.
"Even if we "little couple" don't perform, you guys won't let us off easily..."
When Sisi heard him say "young couple", she couldn't help but want to pinch him. Why was this guy always talking so freely, not even married, and taking advantage of her every day?
"Hehehehe, if a big star like you is just going through the motions at the annual meeting, it would be a waste of resources to be honest. So, it's better to exert your maximum influence."
That is to say, everyone is familiar with him, so he would make such a joke. Zhong Yunqing did not object. He was silent for two minutes, then thought of some interesting program, and continued to say to the mobile phone:
"Then Sisi and I will perform two shows. Sisi will sing one song by herself first, and then Sisi and I will collaborate on another song..."
"Hey, you want to sing a chorus?" This is really interesting! Sisi has never sung before, so people are looking forward to it.
Now Zhong Yunqing said that he and Sisi sang another song together. The publicity effect of this annual meeting is absolutely great!
"No, it's me who sings and Sisi dances with me!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhong Yunqing discussed with Sisi:
"Sister, I heard that all students of Beijing Dance University have the ability to temporarily choreograph. How is your choreography ability?"
Sisi's dance performance is actually average, but she has been studying seriously for so many years. Before she became an actress, she had considered becoming a dance teacher after graduation. Therefore, there is no problem for a normal Beijing Dance student to show her abilities.
So the girl looked at her boyfriend, with a sly smile in her eyes:
"So-so..."
"That's it. I want to sing a soul-stirring song. How about you come up with a dance to match me? After all, I was treated well at the beginning, and now it's my homecoming. I want to give my best performance at the first annual meeting I attend.
An indelible impression was left on all!”
Since her boyfriend said so, Sisi naturally would not dismantle him. So the girl pouted and stretched out her white palms:
"That's okay. You can copy the lyrics to me later and I'll think about it first. If I really can't make it up, I'll go to school and ask my teacher for you. It's not a big deal."
Only then did Zhong Yunqing suddenly realize. Yes, if his sister is not good enough, she also has a teacher! What a blind eye...
So this guy returned to his gangster nature, grabbed Sisi and slapped her in the face. However, the girl suddenly drooled over her face due to the "sneak attack", so naturally she looked disgusted.
"Hurry up and cook for me!"
Then when she saw Zhong Yunqing getting up and walking to the kitchen, she once again shouted to him that she was hopeless:
"Come back and code after you finish cooking!"
…………
A week passed quietly. In a blink of an eye, it was the official day of the annual meeting.
It is necessary to mention that because there have been some deviations in the development of this starting point, the past two years have been relatively rapid. In just two years, it has grown from a small company like a small workshop to an Internet company with hundreds of employees.
Therefore, because it expanded too fast, it was not acquired by Shanda like it was in the previous life.
Of course, although it is still an independent company, it does not have its own office building like later generations.
This annual meeting was also the first serious annual meeting held by Qidian. The venue was held in the banquet hall of a five-star hotel.
Zhong Yunqing drove his car and found the hotel under Sisi's guidance. As soon as he entered the parking lot, he saw his editor running over with another little girl he had never seen before, wearing a fairy skirt.
Well, that girl is really a "little girl". She looks really petite, only about 1.55 meters tall, and she has the same baby face as Tan Songyun.
Zhong Yunqing first walked to the co-pilot and opened the door to let Sisi get out of the car, then smiled at the two girls and said:
"Why did your company ask you two girls to greet us? It makes me feel a little weird and embarrassed."
After a brief chat, Zhong Yunqing looked at the petite little girl next to Guo Ting and asked:
"Who is this?"
When the baby-faced little girl heard his question, she bravely stepped forward and responded:
"Hello Zongziju, my name is Gao You, and I am the new editor. Well, Sister Guoting is still my master for the time being."
After briefly introducing herself, the girl continued weakly:
"Well, I haven't met a big star yet, so I heard that you and Sisi were coming, so I came with her to get her autograph..."
After arguing for a long time, it turned out that it was his little crush. Zhong Yunqing suddenly had a look of understanding on his face. But when he thought that she said that he was also an editor, he asked curiously:
"You just said you were the new editor...then what's your name?"
When Gao You heard Zhong Yunqing's question, she naturally knew that he was not asking about his name, but his nickname as the editor. As a newcomer facing a platinum author, she certainly did not dare to neglect, and quickly replied:
"My name is: Hu Ya... I hope you can take good care of me in the future."
Needless to say, as soon as she said this nickname, Zhong Yunqing immediately looked at her twice.
Then he couldn't help but think in his heart:
"Is this "Tiger Ya" the same as the thunderous "Ya Yajiang" among the authors of later generations, the legendary dragon that never comes to an end?
Of course, Zhong Yunqing is a reborn person after all, and he has become accustomed to various celebrities in recent years. Not to mention an editor who will only be slightly famous in later generations.
He just remained silent in these thoughts for more than ten seconds, then came back to his senses and nodded to her, and then thought in his mind:
"Huya...well, your editor's name is quite interesting and easy to remember."
Zhong Yunqing then looked at his editor: "Guo Ting, I heard from Mr. Luo that you have been promoted."
The editor-in-chief was naturally familiar with Zhong Yunqing, so it was okay to joke. So she said with a serious expression:
"Well, thanks to you, I have been promoted to editor-in-chief. Yaya is now my apprentice and is on the same team as me. If Zongziju opens a new book in the future, you can help take care of her..."
"Okay, I'll add my contact information later, and I'll submit it to you when I open a new book."
Zhong Yunqing's words still surprised Huya, a new editor. Seeing that the first platinum author from Qidian was so easy to talk to, she was naturally happy.
Moreover, Zhong Yunqing's books have many readers, which is not only a fortune for him, but also a good fortune for his editor!
"Then thank you in advance, Zongziju!"
They chatted for a few more minutes, and then Zhong Yunqing continued:
"Okay, let's chat later. Let's go put on makeup first. It's a bit troublesome to put on costumes."
As a result, the few people had just walked a few steps when another car drove into the parking lot. After honking its horn several times, the car stopped. Then Toad and Dancing jumped out of the car.
"Hey, Yun Qing."
Zhong Yunqing is not the kind of person who becomes arrogant when he succeeds, and he still respects his friends who are acquainted with Yu Wenqing.
"You are more stuck than me... Hey, what are you two wearing today?"
"Keep it secret, we'll find out soon."
After saying that, Toad raised the digital camera in his hand and said to Sisi:
"Sisi, can I take a photo with you? I'm your loyal fan!"
Although Dancing Giant is already a new star, he is still a bit shy young man. Facing a goddess-level female star like Sisi, he still feels a little inferior.
So he also followed behind the toad and said:
"I'm also a fan of yours. I want to take a photo with you too, okay."
Sisi did not refuse the requests of the two authors. First of all, Sisi knew them both. They had met the authors at a party before and had dinner together.
Furthermore, for a girl, the starting point is where Zhong Yunqing made her fortune. Sisi will naturally love her and be more friendly to her boyfriend's friends.
Thinking back to the scene when Zhong Yunqing invited her to dinner for the first time after receiving the first royalties, the girl still vividly remembers it.
Then Zhong Yunqing worked part-time as a photographer and took some decent photos for these two great men and their girlfriends.
Of course, someone started the conversation, and Guo Ting and Gao You, who were a little reserved at first, naturally couldn't help it. They also took a group photo with Sisi first. Then they took Zhong Yunqing to the left and right to take a photo.
After all, these two A-list celebrities probably won’t have many opportunities to meet so easily in the future. Let’s cherish it.
Fortunately, it was just about putting on the costume, and there was no troublesome headgear or makeup, so it only took about twenty minutes to complete.
Then the admission started in batches. The first ones to enter were naturally the invited authors. It is said that the development has been very good in the past two years. There have been more than 30 authors of male and female master level or above, showing a lot of achievements.
A prosperous scene.
People entered the venue one after another and sat down at the designated seats. Zhong Yunqing and Sisi went to the seats where several platinums were located.
The originally quiet annual meeting venue was filled with shouts when the founders of Five Starting Points walked in together.
It's not because of how handsome these guys are, or how die-hard these staff members are. It's just because of the clothes these five people are wearing now... well, how should I say, because the five people are now wearing "
In "Naruto", the costumes of Naruto and the advisory board.
Among the five founders, Mr. Lin wore Hokage costumes, and the remaining four wore advisory board costumes...
You must know that in 2007, the Naruto anime was already very popular. It can be said to be the most influential anime work of the year, bar none.
So as soon as these founders appeared on stage wearing these sets of Hokage costumes, the audience cheered more loudly and showed an unexpected exclamation.
At this time, Zhong Yunqing quickly realized that he had been "deceived". He turned his head and said to He Guoting, who was sitting in the row behind him:
"Classmate Guo Ting, didn't you say that the annual meeting is just a costume theme? Why are there so many weird guys wandering in! Do the Hokage's clothes count as costumes?"
Zhong Yunqing was qualified to say that her bosses were "weird", but He Guoting did not dare to speak casually. So she had an idea and smiled and explained:
"Well, regarding this issue, I can only say that the final right of interpretation belongs to Qi Dian..."
"Okay~_~"
Sisi looked at her boyfriend who was embarrassed. Naturally, this girl with a very low point of laughter couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.
At this time, on the stage, the big boss, Mr. Lin, finally started to speak. The other four founders suddenly separated, standing half a meter behind him, two on the left and two on the right. To be honest, the Hokage uniform at this time looked very cool.
feel.
"Dear author friends, distinguished guests, and colleagues, good afternoon. First of all, I would like to thank the author and my colleagues for their hard work throughout the year."
"This year has been a year of rapid development for our company. The number of signed authors has reached 20,000 for the first time, and excellent works are emerging one after another."
"Then I would also like to thank all my friends from the media for taking the time to come all the way to attend our annual meeting..."
"Finally, I would like to thank Zhong Yunqing and Liu Sisi for taking the time to attend our annual meeting. As for why I should thank these two big stars individually. Because they have played a vital role in the development of our company."
"I want to tell you an interesting story here. In 2005, we had less than 60,000 registered paid users at Qidian. However, according to statistics at the end of 2006, this number had rapidly expanded to 450,000. We do
After a questionnaire survey, about half of them came in after knowing that Zhong Yunqing was the author, and some registered after learning about their relationship. So it can be said that fans of Zhong Yunqing and Sisi have supported us.
Half of Qidian! So we decided to award Mr. Zhong Yunqing, also known as Da Zongzi, the honorary title of 'Qidian's No. 1 Platinum Writer' as a thank you."
"Please invite our Zongzi Giant to come on stage, please!"
To be honest, the remaining four are not dissatisfied with Zhong Yunqing being rated as "First Platinum".
The reason is very simple. Zhong Yunqing’s highest order was more than 300,000. The second highest order of Xue Hong was only more than 20,000. There is a gap of more than ten times. Zhong Yunqing is completely enthusiastic about this group of people seeing the top level.
The money-making ability of celebrities!
Zhong Yunqing received a crystal trophy from the founder in the presence of the media, other invited authors, and hundreds of Qidian staff.
The words "First Platinum" are written in golden regular script on the front of the base, which is particularly eye-catching.
"Thank you, Qidian is getting rid of the shackles and taking off completely."
"Mr. Lin is overly praised. In fact, I also need to remember this platform. Otherwise, my growth will not be so fast. We can achieve mutual success."
After Zhong Yunqing returned to his seat, Mr. Lin continued:
"This whole year, our development has been obvious to all. We have already formed five platinums, thirty-two greats, and countless excellent authors and works with endless potential. I hope that next year our platinums and greats will be able to do more
.”
…………
As soon as she came on stage, the female host Guo Ting said very naughtyly:
"Do you two have any impressive scenes that you can imitate for us?"
At this time, the media in the audience had already begun to prepare for filming.
"The most impressive thing is probably the scene between Brother Gou and Axiu on Purple Smoke Island."
Of course, Zhong Yunqing had known about the announcement of these performances a few days ago, and had already memorized the lines with Sisi in preparation. Sisi would sing a song later, and she had mastered it in a few days.
Although the girl's singing voice is at the level of the general public, she is not tone-deaf at least, and it is not a big problem to perform at a corporate annual meeting.
